The oldest brewery in the USA operates a 2G 400ekW/h CHP system, which provides around 20% of Yuengling's total electricity needs at the brewery. This system has saved the owner significant dollars. Yuengling is now part of the smart breweries that utilize new advanced biogas technologies and modern CHP energy conversion systems from 2G Energy Inc.

The famous brewery will use the heat generated by the plant to heat the brewery's pasteurization process, which is a critical part of the beer production process. This will allow Yuengling to save even more energy. The amount of steam needed to heat the breweries' tunnel pasteurizers will be reduced, leading to substantial savings. The methane gas is produced at the Yuengling Brewery wastewater treatment plant and an anaerobic digester, which was designed by Biothane Corporation and is now part of Veolia. The rest of the system was done by System Design Engineering and EMG. 2G Energy Inc. also provided the gas treatment system, which dehumidifies the saturated gas and removes H2S from the raw biogas. The CHP system has been designed as a dual-fuel module and can be operated on low-BTU biogas as well as pipeline-quality natural gas. 2G Energy Inc. was selected to supply and install a fully containerized agenitor 212 thermodynamically optimized MAN-based engine with 400 ekW/h or 3,320 MW p.a. electrical power and 474 kWh/th thermal power output. The energy produced by the CHP system will pay for itself and make this project profitable.
